I'm not losing either. I had my first fill on the 22nd of December lost a few lbs after that down to 358 and then went back up to 365 and now I'm 363. I am not exercising as much as I should though so I am going to start that more. After my fill I had quite a bit of restriction but a few days later it was gone. I've been depressed and very emotional lately due to all of this. On surgery day I weighed 363 and I still do. =/ Blah.

With 4 ccs in my band you'd think I'd be losing weight...:tongue2: I was losing for a bit got down to 358 but then I went back up to 365 and now I'm 363...wtf is goin on? I don't eat too much -.- -frustrated- I already have another fill appt made for the end of January well the 3rd week me thinks...I just wish it would seem like I had weight loss surgery. =/ I feel like a failure.

Hello all! My name is Jasmine and my starting BMI was 61.9. My starting weight was 419 as of April 16th. As of May 6th I was down to 416 On May 16th I was down to 410.5 I get weighed again at my 3rd Nutritional Appt. On June 4th. I am hoping to be close to 400 or possibly below!! That would be wonderful. I have not been banded yet as I am on my 2nd month of my 6 month supervised diet for the insurance. I hope to be banded in November.:laugh:

My fill wasn't until 1:15...omg he pressed all around and it hurt so bad. I have bruises form the 2 times he had to poke me. He said I had 2 ccs and he added 2 more so 4 ccs total. I definetly felt more restriction yesterday with clears...haven't really ate anything today yet...today is mushies...and tomorrow I finally start my softs. :eek: Elizabeth I am sorry about your grandpa...I lost mine at young ages. :thumbup: It's hard especially when you're close. -hugs- According to Jeannie's scale I was 365...lol but when I weighed at home I was 360...Kaplan said to go by hers...phfft I'll go by whatever one says I weigh less. I got on the scale this morning and I was down to 358...clears yesterday helped? PLUS omg I did so much walking yesterday shopping jeeze...lol. Anywho I don't get on here as much anymore...I wish you guys used yahoo messy. I am on it quite a bit. Maybe we can give eachother our numbers incase we ever wanna talk. That would be cool. Lately I have been kinda out of it cause like...if something bothers me...I used to eat...now I can't...and it's like wow...I used to depend on food to make me feel better now I have to find something else. It's odd. I haven't been exercising much...but tonight from now on I am going to walk at least 2 miles a day. Promise to myself. I need to do it. I need my life back. Anyway Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone...this time of year sucks for people like us...FOOD so much sweets...oy oy oy LOL It's gonna be hard to not have many chocolates on xmas. -must have willpower- WE CAN DO IT GUYS. :cool2:

I get my first fill tomorrow. I can't make it to support group...too much holiday crap. :tounge_smile: Meh...I finally started losing weight not much though and I am wanting to eat too much...I'm supposed to start softs tomorrow but due to the fill I'll be on liquids then mushies...my weight keeps jumping round i lose 3 lbs gain that same back lose it again so on lol so frustrating. Hoping this first fill jumpstarts more.

So I've noticed the PRGW isn't as spicy as it normally is. Lets change that. So sex toys...girls which do you prefer...do you have any...which are your faves...why...etc what do you recommend. No need to be shy. :ohmy::crying::)

2 weeks post op I was down 3 lbs post op 56 before so 59 total.

I'm 10 days post op and I've gained 3 lbs lol I lost 56 lbs prior to surgery though so I think my body is just in shock. I was hoping to be down some by Monday my 2 week post op appt...but who knows. :whatchutalkingabout

PJTP - I hate cold weather.

I'm doing well. Healing nicely. I just started exercising again today well like walking for an extended period of time. Bout 20 minutes today and I got tired and dizzy. I started full liquids yesterday. As of now I am still at surgery weight which is 363 The day after surgery I had ballooned up to 374 due to IVs and such...after about 1 or 2 more days I was back down to 363 and haven't moved since then. I am hoping the scales will start to move soon. I am 8 days post op and loving it. I see my surgeon for my 2 week post op visit on Monday.

I'm 8 days post op and haven't lost ANYTHING since surgery day. Same damn weight. :cursing: -sigh-

How long did you guys all wait for insurance approval? My paperwork gets faxed into my insurance tomorrow. I am hoping it will take only a week. My doc's office said most likely it would be two...but they've never delt with my insurance before so they don't know for sure.:tt2:

Mine is about 2 inches above my bellybutton and to the right. Very good spot for it my pants hit well below it and it just seems like a very good spot.

I'm very upset with myself. I was getting my mom's dinner ready tonight and I took 4 bites of her soup beans and mushed them up and 4 bites of pumpkin pie all chewed up to liquids. :thumbup: I start full liquids tomorrow and I'm afraid I might have damaged my band with what I did...it didnt hurt or go down hard...did you guys cheat on post op? I told myself I wouldn't cheat and now I feel like a complete failure...I was told by Jeannie and Kaplan that I was doing so well and they were proud of me and look what I go and do. I'm so upset with myself -cry-

Susan I hope you feel better. :thumbup: We all make mistakes -hugs-

You guys...I cheated on my diet today :thumbup: I'm scared. I am 6 days post op and I start full liquids tomorrow...till then i am on clears. What I did was I took 4 bites of my moms bean soup and mushed it up really good :wink2: that's mushies and I'm supposed to be going full tomorrow not mushies...ugh I'm scared a hurt my band...did any of you guys cheat like this and have your bands still okay after years?

thanks you :thumbup:

I cheated today too I start full liquids tomorrow and tonight I tried 4 bites of mushed up bean soup chewed into liquids...:thumbup: I feel like a failure..told myself I would never cheat. -sigh-

I'm still the same weight since surgery..lol hoping the bloat and swelling go down so my weight will too lol
